Bin Laden Trojan Scheme

Sections: Security — Posted @ 12:11 pm

There is a new security threat on the loose in the Net. There is a file floating around in emails and on news groups that says it is a picture of Osama Bin Laden committing suicide. But it really is a Trojan horse called Hackarmy, also known as Hacarmy, that will infect your Windows computer when you try to look at the file. Click here for a link to a news article about the new virus and click here for a more technical writeup of the Trojan horse from SARC. So, no matter how curious you are, do not open any files that are claiming to be pictures of Bin Laden killing himself.
